Geremia 5:13 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 5:13

And the prophets shall become wind
Their prophecies shall vanish into air; they shall become of no effect; they shall never be accomplished: and the word is not in them;
not the word of the Lord; he never spoke by them; they speak of themselves; they never were inspired or commissioned by him to say what they do: thus shall it be done unto them; the same evils they say shall befall us shall come upon them; they shall perish by the sword or famine; we have reason to believe that our predictions are as good as theirs, and will be fulfilled: or, "thus let it be done to them" F25; as they have prophesied shall be done to us; and so are an imprecation. The Targum interprets the whole of the false prophets, as if they were the words of the Lord concerning them, which is,

``but the false prophets shall be for nothing, and their false prophecy shall not be confirmed; this revenge shall be taken of them;''
and so Kimchi interprets it of the prophets that prophesied peace to them, and said that the above mentioned should not come upon them; and Jarchi takes the last clause to be the words of the prophet to them that say the above words; namely, that thus it shall be done to them, what the Lord has said.

Geremia 5:13 In-Context

11 Conciossiachè la casa d’Israele, e la casa di Giuda, si sieno portate del tutto dislealmente inverso me, dice il Signore.
12 Han rinnegato il Signore, ed han detto: Egli non è: e male alcuno non ci verrà addosso; e non vedremo spada, nè fame;
13 e i profeti andranno al vento, e non vi è oracolo alcuno in loro; così sarà lor fatto.
14 Per tanto, così ha detto il Signore Iddio degli eserciti: Perciocchè voi avete proferita questa parola, ecco, io farò che le mie parole saranno nella tua bocca come un fuoco, e questo popolo sarà come legne, e quel fuoco lo divorerà.
15 O casa d’Israele, ecco, io fo venir sopra voi, dice il Signore, una gente di lontano; ella è una gente poderosa, una gente antica, una gente, della quale tu non saprai la lingua, e non intenderai quel che dirà.
